Linux

General discussion

If Linux went big....

If Linux went big, all your favourite apps, programs and games got linux clients, if all dekstop PCs included linux..... Would you switch to Linux? What Linux Distro would you like to see? For me I would switch and for me It's Ubuntu

Mint or Mandriva

Yes. Tired of giving Redmond my money even for system builder licenses. Those have both served my casual linux needs well.I generally put a dual boot copy of mandriva on with windows for recovery purposes.

Only if I was buying a new system, maybe

And if it wasn't significantly less than the price of a Windows system, say $100 or more, probably not even then. I'm comfortable with Windows, and I don't have any issues with it. I have nothing to gain from switching to Linux (or Mac either).
